| Are you in the over 30 K club?? Not even close - slightly less than 1/3 of that | |
| Altec Lansing A7's 50's model Dbphd, if by finesse you mean a more "laid-back" presentation (such as say the Sonus Faber line, for example), then no, the horns are not going to give you that. However, they are much more revealing of the various textures in the music than any o... | |
| Altec Lansing A7's 50's model My uncle owns a pair that he built in the 60's, I believe, and they are still some of the best speakers I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. His was the first truly high-end system I ever experienced. Go for it! | |
| Best intro to tube integrateds? I will add my vote to those for the PrimaLuna - I went with the Dialouge 2 and am very happy with it. I greatly preferred it to the Rogue Cronus, by the way, which is much brighter in comparison. I have not heard the Jolida or the Cayin, though my... | |
| Which speakers are higher efficiency? Agree with the posters saying you need 98dB efficiency at a minimum for that type of amp, especially if it is single-ended, in which case you will want even more efficiency if you are in a large room. Horns match very well, as others have said. Yo... | |
| Cleaning solution Agree with Chashas1 on the Audio Intelligent fluids. They work great, I use all three. | |
| Would you pay to audition speakers That is one of the crazier things I have ever heard of. Run don't walk out of that store. | |
| Trying to get in to vinyl, turntable suggestions? Johnnyb53, if my posts offended you in some way, I am truly sorry for that - I thought I made it pretty clear about when I was joking. If you disagree with what I posted about the sonic characteristics of these tables, why don't you try posting yo... | |
| Trying to get in to vinyl, turntable suggestions? Burnsy1, to answer your question, Rega makes several different tables in their line, so yes, there is plenty of room to upgrade in that line. I personally have the one in the middle of the line, the P5. That is their table in the $1500 range, and ... | |
| Simple TT isolation.....nice sounding result Hi Adam - nice to hear about your improvement. Which Sanus rack do you have, by the way? | |
| Need to finally replace my 8TC, but with what? One option, if you want to spend less than you did for the 8TC, would be to try the 8PR - in my system, just as good, in fact a little better, as the more expensive 8TC. | |
| Trying to get in to vinyl, turntable suggestions? With all due respect to the fans of Technics, I personally would argue that there is a reason they are known as "DJ" tables. For the money you are talking about, I would suggest buying a new Rega P1 or P2. You will get much better soundstaging and... | |
| Enough detail or too much? Nice posts - many audiophiles do indeed go for a system that is "too detailed", to use the OP's phrase. Most orchestral musicians who are also audiophiles tend to have systems that have good soundstaging and imaging and are on the warmer side, so ... | |
| How large of a speaker do I need I third Jaybo. Got Cornwalls myself in a similar room, though not with the square dimensions. | |
| 10 percent for cables ??? Many would consider that percentage far too high, including myself. I would say 5% would be a good maximum number; I have about 4% in my own system. Put your money into your major components, not your accessories. Wire and cable will not make your... |
